The Litoral Path proposes a different hiking route, which will take you along the coast, as it runs along the promenades, crossing beaches and cliffs, of the towns that mark the coast of Malaga. In its 6th stage, the Litoral Path enters Torremolinos on a route that will take you along the Bajondillo Promenade, until you reach Benalmádena.
The route of the towers
Most of this route passes through the Litoral Path but both the beginning and the end will make you travel to historical moments of both Torremolinos and Benalmádena. The route starts at the Tower Pimentel or Torre de los Molinos, one of the historical and tourist icons of the city of Torremolinos. It is one of the defense towers that was raised by the Nasrids along the entire coast by the former Kingdom of Granada. It is located between San Miguel Street and Cuesta del Tajo, on the road that leads to Bajondillo Beach.
In fact, the route continues along Bajondillo promenade and along the Litoral Path, until reaching the neighboring town of Benalmádena. Here you will find another defense watchtower of the coast, Torre Bermeja. This emblem dominates a large stretch of beach next to Quebrada Tower and Dock Tower (Torre del Muelle), as part of the network of towers of Benalmádena.
As a return route, you can choose to walk along the N-340 avenue until you reach the uphill street that leads to Parque de la Batería, already in Torremolinos, another icon of the city, where you can telax and enjoy the scenery . In addition, you will find a contemporary tower (Torre Mirador) , where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Bay.
From here we suggest you finish at «Castillo Santa Clara», an iconic building in in the history of our tourism.
Promenade
If you like to walk, Torremolinos offers you 6 kilometers of promenade where you can enjoy its stunnig beaches and the best views of Malaga Bay.
In addition, the town hall of Torremolinos is working on an ambitious project, the Water Path, which will allow to combine routes through urban and mountain areas, knowing the link of Torremolinos with water through its fountains of drinking water that coexisted in the past until today in the town.
